but it’s easier…
building up.
not tearing down.
that is how i want to live.
how i was meant to live.
the way God intended us to live.
why do i complain?
tear down.
hurt.
harm.
destroy.
it doesn’t make any sense, yet it is so easy to do.
it is easier to talk trash than to praise.
it is easier to do harm then to help.
it is easier to complain and be critical than to offer a solution and do something about it.
it is easier to tear down than to build up.
it’s easier.
how lame.
rather than live in a way that benefits others and evokes change for the better,
we choose that which is easier.
lazy.
afraid.
or maybe we don’t care.
but we should care.
God has given so much and deserves our submission.
He knows what is best and wants the best for us.
yet somehow we think that we know better than the One who made us and everything else in existence.
so instead of having self discipline and giving Christ control,
we say i want my way, i know more than God, and want the easy way out.
i’m tired of living for me.
and for that which is easy and comfortable.
i’m tired of complaining.
and acting like i know what is best.
i want to be part of the solution.
i just want to live life the way God intended life to be lived.
i just want to do what He wants me to do.
i almost wish i were a robot and just did exactly what i was told.
i hate screwing up.
i hate choosing my own way.
i hate disappointing my Maker and Redeemer.
i hate the fact that i use the word i and me so much.
i want to encourage.
to build up.
to fix that which broken.
to love.
to live love.
to live Christ.
i can’t do it alone.
i’ve figured that much out.
but God says anything is possible through Him.
enough of me and more of Him.
no more me and all of Him.
but it’s easier to live for me.
i hate choosing the easier, yet i so often do…
and somehow God still loves me and wants the best for me.
and somehow He still wants to change me and wants me to live life His intended way.
